What Companies Reward: The Changing Mix of Metrics in Executive Incentive Pay
Report | Dana Etra contributed to The Conference Board’s executive pay report, in collaboration with ESGAUGE and Ropes & Gray
FW Cook partnered with The Conference Board, in collaboration with ESGAUGE and Ropes and Gray, on a recent report, “What Companies Reward: The Changing Mix of Metrics in Executive Incentive Pay.”
This report examines how US public companies use financial and nonfinancial performance metrics in executive incentive plans, including where they appear, how heavily they are weighted, and what they signal about changing board priorities. Across short-term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI) plans in the Russell 3000 and S&P 500, the data points to greater selectivity in nonfinancial measures rather than a broad retreat from them.
